Domain Transfer at a Glance

You can complete the domain transfer in 5 steps:

Prepare transfer: Request authorization code, unlock domain and modify important settings. Optional: Back up your e-mail accounts with your old provider and prepare them for the domain transfer, e.g. using services such as MailStore or Audriga.

Start transfer: Request the transfer from 1&1. New customers should start at 1and1.com. Existing customers should register at my.1and1.com.

Confirm transfer: If you have a generic top-level domain, you will receive an FOA e-mail that you can use to confirm the transfer.

Wait about 5 days: A domain transfer takes some time. Expect the domain transfer to take about 5 days.
